Blake Lively Goes All Out on Her Year of Annus Horribilis in First Explosive Interview Following Baldoni Drama

Blake Lively has been stepping out in full force — from the star-studded SNL 50 bash to being honored at the 2025 TIME100 Gala. And with Another Simple Favor on the way, she is sliding right back into the chaotic charm of Emily. But amid the sparkle, there was tension. In the course of talking about the sequel and all things bubbly, Lively touched briefly on the Baldoni drama — a momentary dip into something deeper. She did not dwell on it, but what she did say was just enough to raise eyebrows and turn heads.
After a string of public appearances, Blake Lively finally sat down for a candid chat. From red carpets to family and movie talk, Lively did not hold back. Well, not completely. Because even in light talk, the shadows found their way in.

Blake Lively’s recent chat with Seth Meyers on Late Night with Seth Meyers kicked off with a fun nod to Another Simple Favor, where she joked about her character Emily switching to martinis with ice. But the conversation quickly veered into deeper waters. Lively opened up about her past year, calling it “full of the highest highs and lowest lows,” acknowledging the stark contrast between personal victories and struggles. She reflected on the silence that many women endure, remarking that "fear is by design," but stressed her gratitude for the opportunity to speak out.

Lively continued to speak candidly about how the women who have fought for their voices and spoken out have given her the strength to believe in her fight for a safer world for women and girls. As the conversation wound down, Lively pivoted back to her grounding force—her kids. “No matter what day I’m having, I have to be Disneyland for them,” she said with a smile, reminding everyone that, amid all the chaos, family remains her constant.
Just when things started to feel heavy, Lively cracked open the lighter bits — stories of filming in Italy, passing pizza, and one unexpectedly emotional football win that had even grown men in tears.
